He turtled up way too much in his fight and barely eeked out a win against Kongo. What's funny is the sweep that Herring used isn't used much in the UFC for some reason.. I was surprised that he was so effective with it. I guess not many fighters let their arm get trapped while having someones back.

You don't see that sweep that often, because it's mostly effective against noobs. The trapping the arm is only one part of it, the second part of the sweep requires you to push your body toward your opponent and fake like you are going to try to stand up. Of course this is just to bait him into pushing you back down, that's when you use his momentum to turn him over. Most experienced grapplers don't take the bait and it's not a sweep that you can really muscle your way into.

I understand that technique, I was a purple belt under Pedro Sauer before he moved to Virginia from Utah. There are alot of noob techniques that people get caught in that aren't noobs to BJJ/submisison fighting. IE (Guillotine, Armbar)

True, I guess sweat plays a big part in that too. Of course if your good enough you can get any technique to work. Even after 6 years of BJJ, Roger Machado would catch me in those stupid first week type of techs.

Liddell - Silva in June!
(Anderson)
That would be sweet.

They'll probably sign Kevin Randleman now to fight Chuck. ::)

It looks like it's going to be Rashad Evans.. I am worried this fight will be somewhat boring now.
ChadTower:
You know what? I want to see Liddell fight Evans. That is a good fight in my eyes.
odysseyroc:
Liddell vs Evans will probably be a quick KO for Chuck or a 3 round blanket fest for Rashad.
ChadTower:
Evans did win 2 of his last 4 fights by KO. One of those was a single blow KO with the opponent (Sean Salmon) being fully out for several minutes - carried off on a stretcher straight to the hospital.
The guy can finish now.
